Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage
sea salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 (12 ounce) package extra-firm tofu
extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
¾ cup chopped mushrooms
½ cup chopped zucchini
sea salt to taste
2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon-infused olive oil (such as F. Oliver's® Meyer lemon)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce, or to taste
2 teaspoons pear-infused white balsamic vinegar
1 (1/8 inch thick) slice ginger, minced
1 teaspoon crushed fennel seeds
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
½ teaspoon turmeric
sea salt to taste
1 pinch Chinese five-spice powder
freshly ground pink peppercorns to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until parboiled, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes to a baking sheet. Coat liberally with olive oil and season with herbes de Provence, sage, sea salt, and black pepper.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tender, turning once, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place tofu onto a plate and place another plate on top. Set a 3- to 5-pound weight on top. Press tofu for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and discard the accumulated liquid. Cut tofu into small dice.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until golden, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook until softened, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add zucchini and a sprinkling of sea salt; keep cooking for about 3 minutes more.
  • Add diced pressed tofu, scallions, lemon oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, pear vinegar, and ginger to the pan with the vegetables. Stir in fennel seeds, curry powder, turmeric, sea salt, Chinese 5-spice powder, and ground pink pepper. Reduce heat to low and cook until flavors combine, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Start with good quality olive oil. The better the olive oil, the better the spicy olive oil will be. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of chili peppers. This will give your spicy olive oil a complex flavor. Some good choices include cayenne peppers, jalapeños, and habaneros.
  • Toast the chili peppers before adding them to the oil. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them less likely to burn.
  • Infuse the oil slowly. The longer the chili peppers infuse the oil, the spicier it will be. However, be careful not to over-infuse the oil, as this can make it too spicy.
  • Store the spicy olive oil in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor and prevent it from going rancid.

Conclusion:

Spicy olive oil is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It can be used to add a kick of heat to pasta dishes, pizzas, and grilled meats. It can also be used as a dipping oil for bread or vegetables. With a little creativity, you can find many ways to enjoy spicy olive oil. So next time you're looking for a way to add some flavor to your food, reach for a bottle of spicy olive oil.
